Most councils/cities won't allow you to just dump a shipping container on a bit of land. It's unsafe.

If you can properly secure it, demonstrate its structural integrity, fire safety etc then it's usually fine.

The only thing unsafe about a shipping container is that one could (with some difficulty) climb on top of it and then fall off. Or I guess someone else could lock one inside, but that seems like a voluntary violent action rather than negligence per se.
